Two people were swept by flash floods at Sakutiek area, Narok Central Sub County, on Tuesday night.
The area Sub County Police Commander John Momanyi said the two were attempting to cross the flooded area when they were swept by the seasonal river.
The bodies of the two were recovered by members of the public who were working with the police to retrieve the bodies and moved to Naivasha Sub County Hospital for preservation awaiting post- mortem.
Following the incident, the police boss warned residents against crossing flooded areas during this rainy season to avert danger.
Elsewhere, eight cows died after they were struck by lightning at Mararianta village in Narok West Sub County.
The cows belonging to Peter Sasiet were shielding from the rain under a tree following heavy downpour that was being experienced in the area when the incident occurred.
The incidents come at a time when the Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rainfall in most parts of the county this week.
A spot check by KNA shows most rivers across the county were full to capacity following heavy rains that have continued in the last two weeks, hence the need for residents to be vigilant when attempting to cross flooded rivers.
